Each case study illustrates various roles of mediation; reconciling conflicting ideas in the medical encounter; as an instrument of domination, or conversely, of resistance. Roy Porter's brilliant foreword conveys the methodological significance as well as the pleasure of these essays.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYAARAH BAR-ON Deputy Director, Diaspora Museum, Tel Aviv University\r\nLOGIE BARROW Professor of British Social History and Political Traditions, University of Bremen, Germany\r\nHERA COOK Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Sydney\r\nLOUISE HILL CURTH Lecturer, University of Exeter\r\nPALMIRA FONTES DA COSTA Assistant Professor, New University of Lisbon\r\nMICHELINE LOUIS-COURVOISIER Geneva Medical School\r\nCONSTANCE MALPAS Digital Initiatives Coordinator, New York Academy of Medicine\r\nTOINE PIETERS Assistant Professor, Free University of Amsterdam School of Medicine and Professor, Groningen University, the Netherlands\r\nSÉVERINE PILLOUD Researcher, Institut Universitaire Romand d'Histoire de la Médicine et de la Santé Publique, Lausanne, Switzerland\r\nROY PORTER\r\nMATTHEW RAMSEY Lecturer, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA\r\nCATRIEN SANTING Lecturer, University of Groningen, the Netherlands\r\nMICHAEL STOLBERG Professor of history of medicine at Munich University, Germany\r\nALFONS ZARZOSO Researcher and curator of the Museum of the History of Medicine of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 December 2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan UK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781403915696\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e241\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804913668236,"sku":"9781403915696","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781403915696.jpg?v=1781787930","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781403915696","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
